Of Course You Can Lyrics

Artist: Spearhead
Album: Home

"Ya know one day the indigenous people of theearth are gonna reclaim what's righfullythere's.""Really? Uh oh!"

Lose your mind misplace your mindforgot you even had a mind'cause someone told you it's impossibleto change your minda friend of mine made it to twenty-fivewe had a celebration "man I'm glad that you're alive"I'm happy to see my man you're beatin' the oddsand for this on this day we give thanks to the gods'cause everyone deserves a shot except you only get oneI hope it's not through the head my son.'cause life is short when you're afraid to die.life is hard when you're afraid to cry.but when I feel alone I sing myself a songbecause wherever I lay a groove is my home.

(chorus)But can you see me in the desert?Of course you can!Can you see me on the mountain?Of course you can!Can you see me in the ocean?Of course you can!I'm just splishin' and splashin'and jumpin' in the sand!(repeat)

But he remembered memories of walkin'through the puddlessayin' "Gee dad, am I the one who's wanted bythe federal Government doesn't want meto go to schoolI ask too many questionsand I don't play by their rules.In school they tried to tall methat a rock is not alivebut I have seen a volcano growin' up and dieIn school they tried to tell methat a tree it couldn't feelbut I have felt a tree and it was bleeding for realIn school they tried to tellme animals couldn't talkbut they can understand it when a dog starts to barkin school they tried to tell meman doesn't have a soul"whet happened to his" I say "cause mine isstill whole!"

(chorus)

(bridge)"Can you see me?""Can you see me?"

The reoccuring dream of life's imprisonmentthe reoccuring scream of a world and it's residentsthe reoccuring theme of a mind full of finger printsthe reoccuring dream of a knife and a presidentwell would you like to look at Madonna's book on sex?or would you rather Alex Haley's book on Malcolm X?Their fuckin' with Ice T but they don't even care ifEric Clapton's singin' I Shot the Sherriff!but how many more books on this subject can I readand how many more frustrations must I try to easeend how many more days of this bad air can I breatheand how many more of my friends must just die and leave

But you can't diffuse the ticking time bombyou can't refuse the time it has comeyou can't erase our people from the nationI'll take a life before they call us "the lost generation"

(chorus)

Can you see me in Africa?of course you can!can you see me in Asia?of course you can!can you see me in Australia?of course you can!Aotearoa? Western Samoa? Eskimoa?can you see me in the White House?no you can't!can you see me on the radio?Hell No!Can you see me with the police?In handcuffs?splishin',splashin',jumpin' in the sand.
